We have one person making their own bot to enter the contest, I'd like to make one with anyone else that wants to join in. I was thinking of spending some time this coming Saturday afternoon around 1pm to start working on something. Even if all it does is use a vox chip to laugh at the opponent, that would be something at least. Drop by the space if you are interested. Sumo bot contest and rules: http://wiki.lvl1.org/Mini-Sumo_Competition_10/29/10 Thanks, -Nathan From bradluyster at gmail.com Thu Oct 28 19:48:19 2010 From: bradluyster at gmail.com (Brad Luyster) Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:48:19 -0400 Subject: [Bloominglabs-announce] LVL1 TransAtlantic Balloon "Launch" Party, 11/20/2010 Message-ID: Hello everybody! I'm a member of the LVL1 hackerspace here in Louisville, working on our White Star Balloon TransAtlantic Helium balloon attempt. If you haven't already heard, we're attempting to inject a Helium balloon carrying a 12 lbs payload into the jetstream, and keep it there for 72 hours, landing somewhere in Europe or Africa on the other side. Pursuant to that effort, we'll be having a party on 11/20/2010 at our hackerspace to celebrate the start of our launch season. So, to that effect, please join the White Star Balloon builders for a season kickoff party to celebrate the beginning of the race to cross the Atlantic Ocean and raise money to pay for this all-volunteer science adventure. A real full size trans-atlantic balloon will be erected at the party, standing nearly 3 stories tall into the skylights!. Music, Food, Science and fun provided, BYOB When: Saturday Nov 20, 7PM-12AM Where: LVL1 Hackerspace, 814 E Broadway, Louisville, KY, rear entrance in the alley. Who should come: Anyone interested in being a part of history or who thinks science is cool! Why: All people who donate $10 or more at the party will get to write a message in a bottle, to be dropped into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! What the heck is this balloon thing: We're a group of creators/makers/hackers, trying to be the first to send a robot balloon from the US to Europe! We've got a darn good chance of making it, celebrate the start of the winds that will take us there. The Jet Stream, a giant super-speed river of wind is what we ride all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. It only comes through Louisville a few times a year in the winter. We'll be ready, but we need your help - we're just regular people with a sciency fun side, and it's costing a lot of money to do this enormous effort. Be a part of history fellow Louisvillians, donate to the White Star Balloon - http://whitestarballoon.org Follow our twitter @WhiteStarBalloon for general info, and follow @LVL1WhiteStar for day-to-day build progress update. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Otherwise, I hope to see some of you at the party! -Brad From mark at suso.com Fri Oct 29 08:58:38 2010 From: mark at suso.com (Mark Krenz) Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 12:58:38 +0000 Subject: [Bloominglabs-announce] 8 good sized 12V rechargable batteries available Message-ID: <20101029125838.GM26047@dorabella.servers.suso.com> Hello, I recently had to replace 2 large UPS battery packs because the UPS told me too. They most likely still work a bit and the packs could be taken apart to get at the individual 12V batteries. Basically, this is what a pack looks like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101230 Each pack comes with 4 batteries inside so there are 8 total for 96V. You could take apart the metal casing around and use the batteries directly for a project or two. These are expensive batteries and I'm giving them away to someone who will use them for something. I figure that someone at Hackerspace is most likely to need them. -- Mark S. Krenz IT Director Suso Technology Services, Inc.
